Natural Medicine Testing

A Natural Medicine Testing Facility is defined by Colorado regulations as a public or private laboratory licensed, or approved by the Division, to perform testing and research on Regulated Natural Medicine and Regulated Natural Medicine Product. It is considered a Natural Medicine Business under Colorado rules.

Note: An Owner of a Natural Medicine Testing Facility may not hold any financial interest in a Healing Center, a Natural Medicine Cultivation Facility, or a Natural Medicine Products Manufacturer. 

An application for a Testing Facility License must include the following information:

  • Documentation demonstrating that the address for the proposed Licensed Premises is permitted under the Local Jurisdiction’s applicable zoning laws for the testing, storage, distribution, or transfer of Regulated Natural Medicine and Regulated Natural Medicine Product.
     

How to Apply

Please review the Natural Medicine Business application form and Owner application form carefully to ensure you are eligible to hold this type of license. The video to the right should help answer any questions you may have about the application form. After you have reviewed the PDF, you have the option to fill out your application online by clicking the icon below. Please don't fill out the linked PDF application until you decide whether you want to submit a hard copy or apply digitally. The PDF is only for a hard copy submission. 

All Natural Medicine Businesses must be accompanied by an Owner application for each person who has an ownership interest in the business. We cannot process an application without full ownership information.
